The Brief
The objective was to recreate an album cover for the record For Emma, Forever Ago by Bon Iver — showcasing the album themes of isolation and fragility.
The Solution
A single red leaf frozen into a block of ice became the design centerpiece, a nod to the months that Justin Vernon spent alone in a cabin in the woods of Wisconsin, writing the album. All text other than the production company information was handwritten in order to give the record a more personal feel and create a thin, frail style.
